About the Book

Murder Goes Viral!

Charlie and Sarah, two disaffected teens dealing with depression, meet in an online chatroom and soon hatch a plan to bring meaning to their lives by encouraging other despondent individuals to help eradicate the "scum of society", such as pedophiles and rapists who have escaped justice. Anyone determined to commit suicide is urged to first kill someone who "got away with it" before taking their own life. Why not, they ask, "take one with you?"

The idea goes viral and things rapidly spiral out of control. As they develop feelings for each other, their worldwide followers begin to enact a very different version of their idea, perverting its original intent and threatening the thin line between civil society and criminal anarchy. Just as they find the hope of happiness together, Charlie and Sarah must deal with the monster they've created, a global epidemic of murder-suicide that threatens the very core of their humanity.

Reviews (Excerpts)

- "Very well written, I couldn't put the book down. The idea to Take one with you was disturbing at first but to rid the world of scum and the power of the internet kept me very interested. I would like to see this at a theater one day!" - Silvia Stouffer

- "What a great read! Took it on a plane to read and for the first time ever I didn't want the flight to be over because I didn't want to put it down. It was disturbing and exciting! The background of the characters brought them to life. I will recommend this book to all my friends. 5 stars for sure!" - Becca Mitchell

- "This was a very intense read for me. Mr. Anderson takes you through each character individually, intertwining them in such a way that his fiction could easily be a reality. You feel their pain through their experiences and you understand why the series of events unfold for them they way they do. I had no idea what to expect when I started reading and to say I was impressed by this debut novel would be an understatement! Kudos to you Mr. Anderson!" - Cindy (Amazon)

- "I could really feel the passion in this book, the meaning behind the story. It tabled many true life situations, and how mental issues are real. Was a great read...fantastic writing, looking forward to the next book! " - Heather Dollman
